Jiang Beiran couldn't help showing a gratified smile after hearing this.

As his most capable subordinate, Gu Qinghuan has never let him down.

But this time the mission was an away game, and it was in the six countries with top difficulty. Jiang Beiran thought that it would take some time for Gu Qinghuan to adapt, or one or two defeats would be the foreshadowing.

At the very least, it's impossible to be as perfect as before, arrange everything properly, and just wait for the result.

However, the facts proved that he still underestimated Gu Qinghuan's ability, and it was quite underestimated.

Not only did Gu Qinghuan quickly adapt to Tan Guo, but he also solved the problem that he thought must be difficult just now in less than a month, and there were even multiple options for him to choose from.

'Absolutely! '

After expressing his emotions, Jiang Beiran asked calmly, "Tell me the one you think I'm most likely to choose."

"Yes!" Gu Qinghuan replied with cupped hands: "Wen Yunyan has an elder brother named Wen Yuanzheng. They grew up together and have a good relationship. But just last month, Wen Yuanzheng died tragically in a small town named Dianlin. Outside the town, so now Wen Yunyan is full of revenge."

Then, under Gu Qinghuan's supplementary description, Jiang Beiran quickly understood the rudiment of this matter.

Wen Yuanzheng is the eldest son of the Wen family. He has been gifted since he was a child, and he is gentle and courteous, so he is loved by his younger siblings at home, from childhood to adulthood.

But just last month, the eldest son of the Wen family suddenly died tragically outside Dianlin Town, with a female corpse lying beside him in a terrible state of death.

This woman's surname is Lin, and her single name is the word Yan. She is a disciple of Biyun Sect. She is unparalleled in the sect. She is the dream lover of many male disciples.

This Biyun sect is located in Fenghe County, and it is a "neighbor" relationship with Renwu County where the Wen family is located.

Wen Yuanzheng and Lin Yan met each other because of an accident, and they fell in love with each other after that, and they often saw each other.

But in fact, Lin Yan already had a friend, and the name of this friend was Liu Zhousi.

This Liu Zhousi's identity is not simple, he is the second son of Changwu Village of Renwu County. This Changwu Village and the Wen family have always been at odds. The two families often quarrel over issues such as resource division.

So when Wen Yuanzheng's tragic death happened outside Dianlin Township, the Wen family quickly investigated everything and directly called Changwu Village where the Liu family lived, demanding that Liu Zhousi pay for his life.

But Liu Zhousi insisted that the death of the adulterers had nothing to do with him.

And the fact that these two families can hold each other for such a long period of time also shows that their overall strength is similar.

So when they couldn't produce evidence and didn't intend to fight to the death with the other side, the Wen family could only swallow this breath first, and retreated to find the real evidence before going to the Liu family to discuss it.

Among them, Wen Yunyan is the most eager.

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran basically understood what Gu Qinghuan meant, and if he wanted Wen Yunyan to hand over Zhan Riliu willingly, the way was to avenge him.

Either killing Liu Zhousi directly, or finding evidence that Liu Zhousi killed his elder brother, should be enough to make Wen Yunyan willing to hand over Zhan Riliu as a reward.

"So you've already found out?" Jiang Beiran asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan cupped his hands: "The Wen and Liu families were at odds with each other, so from the beginning of the matter, the Wen family believed that Liu Zhousi was the murderer who killed Wen Yuanzheng, because after all, Liu Zhousi was the peak of Xuanhuang. Realm, much stronger than Xuanhuang's eighth-level Wen Yuanzheng, fully capable of killing him."

"In addition, Liu Zhousi's motive for killing is also very strong. After all, it was Wen Yuanzheng who took away his best friend first, so it's not surprising that it attracted revenge."

Jiang Beiran couldn't help nodding secretly after hearing this.

'Hmm... things like green hats, no matter what era they are in, are easy to make people crazy and do irrational things. '

After talking about the background of the incident, Gu Qinghuan continued to add: "But when everyone's eyes are attracted by the grievances between the Wen and Liu families, I think there might be something to be found on this woman named Lin Yan, but I can't think of anything. The Wen and Liu families must have thought of the matter, but they didn't seem to find any clues about her."

Jiang Beiran couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That's why you need Wen Zhou's help?"

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "Brother Luo has a unique ability in in-depth investigation that is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, so I troubled my brother to find him."

After hearing this, Luo Wenzhou cupped his hands and said, "Senior Brother Gu is absurd."

"Then it seems that Wen Zhou has indeed found something?"

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "After Junior Brother Wenzhou came, I told him a little about the ins and outs of the incident, and after only three days, he gained something."

"He got a letter from a female disciple of the Jade Cloud Sect, a letter left by Lin Yan."

'Good guy...'

After hearing this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but sigh with emotion that his two apprentices were really amazing bones and talents, and he found out things that the two big snakes didn't find out.

"Brother, this is the letter."

After receiving the letter from Gu Qinghuan, Jiang Beiran opened it and read it, and found that the contents of the letter were very exciting.

In the letter, Lin Yan told the story from meeting Wen Yuanzheng by "accident" to having a mutual relationship with him. In fact, someone helped her plan carefully, and the person who helped her plan and ordered her to do so was from Cangxi County. Shen family.

Under Gu Qinghuan's explanation, Jiang Beiran knew that the Shen family was a wealthy local family, and the patriarch was also a Xuanzun-level powerhouse.

As for why the Shen family ordered her to use this "beauty trick", it was not mentioned in the letter, but it seemed more like Lin Yan didn't know the reason.

The reason why she is willing to do this is because the Shen family promised her a set of mysterious exercises, and promised that once it is done, they will let her join the top sect of Cangxi County, the Liuyan Sect, and become a high-level person, and she will no longer have to be in the Biyun Sect. Being a little disciple is so useless.

With such favorable conditions, Lin Yan was naturally very excited, and decided to board the big ship of the Shen family without thinking for a long time.

The cooperation progressed very smoothly. Under the deliberate arrangement of the Shen family, a story that was most likely to make men and women crazily produce hormones soon happened between Wen Yuanzheng and Lin Yan.

The hero saves the beauty.

However, for a cultivator like Wen Yuanzheng, although it is not commonplace for a hero to save a beauty, it is by no means the first time in his life.

So to get him hooked, Lin Yan and the Shen family spent a lot of energy investigating his preferences, and finally took him down in one fell swoop relying on perfect preparations.

When he saw this, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of the thing they did when they first met Xiaoqi, which was actually similar in nature.

'It seems that this is a business that many people are doing...'

After reading the letter, Jiang Beiran looked at Luo Wenzhou and said, "Tell me, how did you get it."

Seeing the senior brother asking him questions, Luo Wenzhou immediately cupped his hands and replied: "I think if you really want to find out something from Lin Yan, you can only find a way by getting in touch with the seniors and sisters who are close to her on weekdays."

"Before I went, I heard that people from the Liu family had sent people to investigate Biyunzong, but Biyunzong is not a soft persimmon. The suzerain is not only a strong man in the Xuanzun realm, but also has a relationship with a Xuansheng. very good."

"So don't bring those female disciples who are closely related to Lin Yan back to investigate. The Liu family can only go through the motions when investigating, and complete a round of questions and answers under the care of the hall master."

"And such an investigation, of course, is unlikely to lead to anything."

He took a piece of large yellow croaker meat and put it in his mouth. After listening to the description of the two, Jiang Beiran already understood that this kind of investigation can only be done softly, and Luo Wenzhou is definitely a master at soft investigation.

Luo Wenzhou's next answer also confirmed his thoughts.

Among the several female disciples who had a close relationship with Lin Yan, Luo Wenzhou accurately captured the female disciple whose expression flickered with melancholy from time to time, and created a perfect encounter with her.

Then the relationship between the two quickly heated up, and the female disciple named Ren Enlian quickly took Luo Wenzhou as her spiritual support, and expressed the uneasiness in her heart.

It turned out that Lin Yan was not stupid. In this cooperation with Shen's family, although the other party paid a lot of compensation in advance, they also described her future very beautifully.

But she still made a last resort, which was to leave the evidence of her cooperation with the Shen family and a letter written by her in the hands of her close friend Ren Enlian, and told her that it was very important, as long as she If you can keep this letter well, you will have countless benefits to share with her in the future.

After finishing speaking, he put all the remuneration paid to her by the Shen family in advance, to show that he was willing to share the glory and wealth with her.

Hearing this, Jiang Beiran reckoned that in Lin Yan's original plan, this letter would be used as the last resort to protect himself and threaten the Shen family. This hole card, and that Wen Yuanzheng both died outside Dianlin Town.

After hearing the news of Lin Yan's death, Ren Enlian opened the envelope after hesitating for a long time, and read all this.

But she dared not tell anyone about it at all.

Because Lin Yan is dead! This is enough to show that the methods of the Shen family were cruel, and they killed people after using them.

If the Shen family knew that she had sent the evidence, her fate would not be any better than that of Lin Yan. She didn't think the Zongmen would send someone to protect her because of this incident.

Another more important reason is...

There is no benefit for her to do this, but it is extremely dangerous.

So even though I feel sorry for my sister, I still keep this matter in my heart, no matter who asks, I don't know.

But since this incident happened, she couldn't sleep well every day. She often dreamed that Lin Yan was lying next to her covered in blood, staring at her firmly, as if asking her why she didn't tell the truth to the public. Has she forgotten the vow they made to live and die together

In this kind of inner torture, Ren Enlian's life was very difficult, even when he was practicing, he almost lost his temper.

And just when she was in so much trouble, a handsome man broke into her life...

After listening to Luo Wenzhou's description of how it took him three days to make Ren Enlian completely trust him, Jiang Beiran wanted to applaud him and said something.

'I would call it a unique skill. '

This is not much better than the female lecturer who I asked a man to spend 180,000 yuan for me with three sentences. Luo Wenzhou let that Ren Enlian give his life to him in only three days.

Absolutely... really absolutely.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter clearly, Jiang Beiran handed the letter back to Gu Qinghuan and said, "Are you planning to exchange this letter for Zhan Ri Liu?"

This letter is the evidence that the Wen family is looking for now. Although the result is definitely different from what they imagined, it is enough to ask Wen Yunyan to exchange Zhan Riliu.

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "It's just that if we do this, we may also be involved in the open and secret fights between the three major families, so we invite senior brother to preside over the overall situation."

Nodding his head, Jiang Beiran's satisfaction with this disciple was beyond words.

"Let's talk about it first, which method do you plan to use in exchange for Zhan Riliu?"

The Wen family are not fools, so it is impossible to just come to someone who says he knows the evidence of Wen Yuanzheng's murder and believe him.

And it was impossible for Gu Qinghuan to hand over the letter before Zhan Riliu succeeded, after all, this was on the opponent's territory, and Wen Yunyan would have nothing to do if he regretted it.

So how to successfully complete this transaction is very difficult.

"Brother, after I came to Renwu County, I solved several cases in the Gangyamen of Jiangcheng County where Wen's family is located, and I quickly integrated here."

Jiang Beiran nodded after hearing this. He knew that this was Gu Qinghuan's usual style of doing things. He first entered the bottom layer, then slowly expanded his circle, and waited for an opportunity to enter the top management.

This was not an easy task, but Lu Qinghuan was able to complete it with ease every time.

"After establishing my foothold in Jiangcheng County, I continued to help the Yamen solve various difficult cases while investigating the Zhan Riliu you were looking for, senior brother. After I established a certain reputation, I also began to have some children from big families or sects. Ask me to help solve the case, and now I have met some children from big families who can talk to the Wen family."

"well done."

The meaning of Gu Qinghuan's words is very simple, as long as he has the title of "Detective Jiang Chengming", he already has the conditions to make Wen Yunyan come to him for help.

It can be said that everything is ready, as long as he gives an order, Gu Qinghuan will have a way to exchange Zhan Riliu.

"So which one worries you the most?" Jiang Beiran asked.

In the past, Gu Qinghuan would report to Zhan Riliu after switching to Zhan Riliu, but since he didn't do this this time, it meant that he didn't have the confidence to retreat from the open and secret struggles of these three major families.

"Shen family." Gu Qinghuan replied without hesitation.

"Tell me carefully."

"According to my investigation, this Shen family has a very good reputation in Cangxi County, not just Cangxi County, it should be said that it has a very good reputation in the entire Yunzhou. Not only is their family willing to do good things, but they often help some small sects and rescue civilians. , can be said to have an extremely good reputation.”

Jiang Beiran laughed after hearing this, and understood why Gu Qinghuan was so wary of the Shen family.

Because compared to wolves rushing straight into the flock...

A wolf in sheep's clothing is the scariest thing.
